Georgia towns of 2,500+ (264)Ahead of 43%
Few Georgia towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Lyons’ 1% is ahead of 25% of Georgia towns, while its trails per square mile lead 57% of them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from C to C+. Trails and many small parks come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by volunteers, so coverage varies from town to town; the half mile is a straight line from each census block, so a river or highway in the way isn’t counted against it.

How much outdoors does Lyons have?
Ahead of 35% of U.S. towns on the Outdoors grade, #151 of 264 in Georgia. The grade combines the share of land that is conserved, miles of mapped trail per square mile of land, park acres per 1,000 residents and the share of residents within a half mile of a park. It’s a character grade, so it isn’t part of the overall grade. How it works.
